A validation study was performed on a multiresidue method for determination of pesticide residues in agricultural products according to the method validation guideline of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. FASRAC Food Automatic Analytical Systems for Residual Agricultural Chemicals automatically performs extraction of pesticide residues from agricultural products with acetonitrile, filtration, constant volume, mixing with the use of air, mixing acetonitrile with buffer solvent, separation, and dehydration with sodium sulfate. The extract was purified with a GC/NH 2 column. For wheat flour and soybeans, a purification step with a C18 column was added before a GC/NH 2 column. After removal of the solvent, the extract was resolved in n-hexane/ acetone solvent for GC-MS/MS analysis. In the case of manual analysis, pesticide residues were analyzed according to official multiresidue methods and purification steps were the same as in FASRAC. Recovery tests were performed with wheat flour, soybeans, spinach and apples, by addition of 302 pesticides at the concentrations 0.01 mg/kg. The results indicate that automatic extraction using FASRAC is superior to manual analysis in trueness, repeatability and within-run reproducibility. Specially, automatic extraction using FASRAC is superior to manual analysis in trueness because it is optimized in various respects, for example reextraction at salting-out.

A questionnaire investigation is executed for the aged people who are living at Hachinohe city in Aomori Prefecture during June to September 2016 in order to ascertain the factors which are related with productive activity. In this paper, basic statistical analysis and multiple correspondence analysis are conducted. It was made clear that productive activity increases as the self-efficacy feeling increases. Further study on this should be examined.

Abstract-In Japan, High School teachers are busy with their daily works, including teaching, supporting the club activities and the desk work. Among them, they spend much more time in managing the club actives of students compared with that of other countries. In some area, professionals can make instructions much better than teachers for the special sports like Judo and Kendo (Japanese fencing) etc. School Social Worker not only can coordinate the professionals out of school, but also can help teachers by decreasing their burden on that area. There are few related papers concerning the support of club activities by utilizing the professionals outside. In this paper, a questionnaire investigation is executed to clarify their current condition and consciousness in order to seek the possibility of utilizing school social workers' support. Fundamental statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, factor analysis and multi corresponding analysis are performed. Some interesting and instructive results were obtained.

High School teachers in Japan are sending very busy days on their daily works including teaching, support for the club activities and deskwork. Among them, they share a lot of time for managing the club actives of students compared with other countries. In that area, professionals can make instruction much better than teachers for the special sports like Judo and Kendo (Japanese fencing) etc. School Social Worker can coordinate the professionals out of school and can help teachers by decreasing their burden on that area. There are few related papers concerning the support of club activities by utilizing the professionals outside. In this paper, a questionnaire investigation is executed to the four High Schools at Iwate Prefecture in Japan in order to clarify their current condition and their consciousness, and to seek the possibility of utilizing school social worker for their support. Fundamental statistical analysis, Factor Analysis and Multi Correspondence Analysis are performed. Some interesting and instructive results were obtained.
